    Default Great day yard sale shopping!

    This weekend, my DGD and I went yard saleing. My son & DGD are moving out soon and need just about everything. I bought him a nice microwave for $6, (the lady got an under the counter one so didn't need it anymore) and I got a crock pot for $7.

    Last week I bought a quilt rack at a thrift shop for $5 and it is in excellent shape! Now he will have something to hang the quilts I made them on. LOL

    Congrats on your find! I did great this weekend too. Everything I got only cost a $1 each. 2 bags of buttons (like I need more), a french vase, 4 vintage candy dishes, and an electric Home Medic manicure set! Can't believe I passed on the fill-a-bag with fabric for a dollar, but I'm glad I did.

    I love garage/rummage sales

    Ya'll get ready. One of these days I must have a garage sale to clear out all the stuff in our house.
    I just found my Hinterberg frame parts (in a box) that my hubby was going to build for me. never did!! It weighs a lot or I'd sell it online.
